UnproftabIe mitigation.

A very peculiar case at law was
tried in this village last week. MI.
Diedrick had claim against Mr..
Dleble which he employed Col. Fos-
ter to collect, Lyman Barto appear
ing for the defendant. An attach
ment was gotten out, and served by
officer Doty. On Thursday the case
came up for trial, the attorneys and
Mr.. Dieble being present. At the trial
Mr.. FanCamp appeared and said he
was authorized to discontinue the
suit on behalf of Mr.. Diedrich, it
appearing that the latter had EN-.
ployed Mr.. VanCamp to collect the
Same claim. Mr.. Foster had no no.
LITIGATION from his client, and he re-
fused TO discontinue, but took judg-
ment for 5000, which was paid
then and there by Mr.. Dieble, to-
gether with about three dollars
costs. The amount was paid to MI.
Diedrich, less attorneys fees. On the
following day the second suit
brought by Mr.. VanCamp, was set
for trial before Esquire BonIton.
Mr.. VanCamp appeared, dismissed
the suit and paid the costs, which
amounted to $4,000 or just fifty cents
more than the net judgment, and
now Mr.. Dieble is trying to figure
up how much he has gained by his
suit. He has more experience with
the law than he had. if he hasn't
quite so much money.

tickets limited to September Goth +,

they were informed that the tickets
would be good to return on the train
which leaves Minneapolis at 9 P. NJ,
on Monday, arriving here at 1:47 A.
NJ. When they left Minnea polls the
conductor inspected their tickets
and returned thenswlthout remark.
After the train left st, Cloud at
midnight the conductor came
through and demanded fare, as the
limitation had expired. Mrs. Petit
protested against paying, as she had
been assured when she purchased
her ticket, that it would be accept ed
en- that train. After demonstrating,
the party paid their fare, taking re-
ceipts for the money. What eX-
asperated her still more was that full
fare was-d demanded for joe. who has
always been considered none too
large for half fare. 1t would seem
that the company will hardly en-
dorse this oyer-gealous ACTION of the
conductor, and it is a question
whether the unusual method of re-.
turning ticket, instead of taking it
up when Erst presented will. as a
matter of strict legal construction,
hold water. The experience was
very annoying, not to say exasperat-
ing to the ladies, and the on,pany
will have the matter laid before it.
